Venezuelan beauty queen maker Osmel Sousa seemed supportive of a transgender woman’s right to compete in the Miss Universe pageant. This after Miss Universe Spain 2018 Angela Ponce made history when she became the first transwoman to compete at the Miss Universe pageant.

Here’s a translation of Osmel's post published in Instagram:

In view of the many criticisms and offenses I have received, for fixing my position in relation to @angelaponceofficial nature sometimes or often makes us bad plays. That girl was born a woman, and thanks to medical science she got where she belongs. Because we must discriminate if she is a woman and feels like a woman. The discriminatory judgments that life makes us are painful. Even sexuality we do not choose it. Today I ask God that all those who are against their participation in the Miss Universe, do not give birth to a child with this condition and this cruel society will discriminate against you. It would be terrible. In passing, that transgender adjective I hate. She was born a girl and is now a girl. TO HER, I wish you success in your contest. And you who you to criticize it. God bless you

En vista de las múltiples críticas y ofensas q he recibido, por fijar mi posición en relación a @angelaponceofficial la naturaleza a veces o muchas veces nos hace malas jugadas. Esa niña nació mujer , y gracias a la ciencia médica llegó a donde pertenece. Porque la debemos discriminar si ella es mujer y se siente mujer. Los juicios discriminatorios que la vida nos hace son dolorosos. Hasta e la sexualidad no la escogemos. Hoy le pido a Dios que todos aquellos q están en contra de su parcipacion en el Miss Universo, no les nazca un hijo con esta condición y esta sociedad cruel te lo discrimine. Sería horrible. De paso ese adjetivo transgénero lo odio. Ella nació niña y es ahora niña. A ELLA , le deseo éxito en su concurso. Y a ustedes q la critican q Dios los bendiga
